Is it not possible to obtain a permit offline?
No. From this year, the permit for the use of a vehicle with tinted or darkened windows is issued only electronically through the portal ekhizmat.tj. It can no longer be obtained offline at the offices.
How to register on the portal?
To use the Unified State Services Portal and process documents online, two stages must be completed – identification and registration.
First, you need to go through personal identification at the Public Services Center. In Dushanbe, it is located at: Beхzod Street, 47A. You will need the original passport and a phone number. The procedure takes about 5–10 minutes.
After that, you need to download the IMZO app from Google Play or the App Store and register in it. It is important that the phone number provided during identification matches the number used for registration in the app.
Then you can go to the portal ekhizmat.tj, choose to log in “via IMZO”, enter your phone number, and input the one-time code from the SMS. After this, you gain access to your personal account and can process state services online – from home, work, or at the Public Services Center itself.
How is the permit for tinting processed on the portal?
After registering on the Unified State Services Portal ekhizmat.tj, the process of obtaining a permit takes several steps.
First, you need to log in to your personal account on the portal. Then, from the list of services, select the permit for the use of a vehicle with tinted and darkened windows.
Next, the user enters the vehicle details, after which the system automatically calculates the cost of the service. You just need to pay for the permit online.
After payment, the permit is issued electronically, and it can be saved or presented when necessary.
Can I obtain a permit if I do not have an account on the state services portal?
Yes. The tinting permit can also be obtained without registration on the portal through the “Log in as Guest” option.
In this case, the user needs to provide a phone number, receive a one-time code via SMS, and confirm the login. After that, you can fill in the vehicle details, pay for the service, and obtain the permit following the same procedure as with a regular login to the system.
The tinting permit is the only service on the portal that can be obtained without full registration in the system.
How much does a tinting permit cost?
The cost depends on the year of manufacture of the vehicle. The exact amount will be shown by the system on the portal during the service application.
How long does it take to process the permit?
According to the Agency for Innovations and New Technologies, the entire procedure takes up to one minute.
What should I do if I previously obtained a permit from the traffic police – is it still valid or do I need to get a new one?
No. If you already have a permit, it will remain valid until it expires. After that, a new permit will need to be obtained online.
